Fort Lewis College featured in premiere of new Amazon Prime show

Fort lewis college featured in the premiere of new amazon prime show.

TheDurangoHerald | Dec 21, 2020

Fort Lewis College was chosen to premiere a new Amazon Prime series that features videos of college campus tours. “The College Tour” is aimed at prospective students who can’t visit college campuses because of COVID-19 travel limits.

Viewers of the new Amazon Prime series “The College Tour” can see the inside story of what makes Fort Lewis College tick through interviews with students and a tour of campus. The series premiered last week and featured FLC as the first stop on the video tour. From student organizations and outdoor spaces accessible from campus to science and art classrooms and athletic fields, the segment gives high school students a view of life at FLC. “Fort Lewis College is always seeking ways to connect with new prospective students and ‘The College Tour’ is such an innovative and unique approach to accomplish that,” said Lindsay Nyquist, director of FLC marketing and communications. “The College Tour” will focus on a single college or university in each 30-minute episode. The series is hosted by Alex Boylan, a reality show contestant who has branched out to produce and host TV shows. Boylan leads viewers on tours of campuses, showcasing interviews with current students and professors. “The idea for ‘The College Tour’ TV series came to me from my 16-year-old niece. Because of the pandemic and finances, she wasn’t able to travel to tour colleges,” said Boylan. “So, using our skills as executive producers, we created a series inspired by her and millions of other young people who are interested in attending college. We are really excited to be kicking off the series with Fort Lewis College.”

Undergraduate research takes centerstage at FLC

Nearly 180 research projects students shared through live presentations, posters, and videos during the spring undergraduate research symposium..

DURANGO, Colo.— A first-year biochemistry student using a video to discuss how growing human lungs can help fight a pandemic. A Native American student developing a culturally informed, research-based program to lower the rate of drownings among Native American communities. An undergraduate student publishing his research findings in a peer-reviewed journal.

These were among nearly 180 research projects students shared through live presentations, posters, and videos during the Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium, which was held on April 25 and concluded with the Undergraduate Research Symposium & Awards Gala.

"Hands-on research happens daily at Fort Lewis College,” Provost Mario Martinez said. Undergraduate research is not something we do at Fort Lewis; it is what we do best at Fort Lewis College,” he added, quoting engineering professor Laurie Williams.

“We know mentor-mentee relationships are important, particularly for allowing students to persist in their fields of study. By facilitating research in classes, our faculty can transfer their passion and knowledge to our students. I think today is a wonderful example of that,” Smith said.

First-year student Madison Eckard and senior Mc Kenna Armstrong delivered the Ted-like talks. They were recipients of the Pay It Forward grant from the Intuitive Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Intuitive medical device company.

The grant provides stipends to students and their mentors to work on projects geared toward community and/or global health. Two critical components of the program include supporting mentor-mentee relationships and research communication.

Eckard said her passion for science came from a group of YouTubers who call themselves “Science Education Creators.”  

Mc Kenna Armstrong, a senior who graduated with a B.A. in Sociology and Human Services, said her research into increased drowning deaths among BIPOC people was inspired by her friends, who often would ask her to give them swim lessons for free. She said it turns out few, if any, new how to.

“It made me start thinking why?” said Armstrong. After researching how institutional racism and intergenerational trauma correlate to minority populations and how the lack of access and opportunity to swim lessons affect these rates, she applied and received grants to do something about it. She developed the program “Waves of Equality: Swim Initiative and Community Health Impact,” which, in two sessions, had 24 participants ranging from 18 months to college age.

 “Swimming is a life skill everyone should have,” she said.

During the event, the 2024 Undergraduate Research Scholar Awards were recognized for their outstanding projects.

They include Matt Young, Sage Nelson, McKenna Armstrong, Sullivan Barnett, Jamie Ayze, Christopher Dantinne, Anna McCabe, Jack Demmert, Ellyse Fredericks, Finley Oursler, Megan Brand, Santiago Cadenas.
